The new species can be characterized by the presence of the following characters: (1) eyes separated, but close-set; (2) cubital field of forewings with one pair of intercalaries and one intercalary vein connected with CuA; (3) subgenital plate relatively broad with width/length ratio 1.802.00. This combination of characters definitely separates the described females of
